Demanding a rent brake from the federal government, passing on the interest rate increase directly to the tenants in red Vienna – how does that work? We ask SPÖ alderman for housing and deputy mayor Kathrin Gaál. A conversation about municipal housing, foreigners, priceless real estate and party leader Pamela Rendi-Wagner. Kathrin Gaál says: “We have social peace in Vienna’s municipal housing.” And she answers the question: why don’t you finally make housing cheaper?
“crown”: Madam Deputy Mayor, I’m about to begin. According to Statistics Austria, one in three people will soon be unable to live. What do you do as a housing advisor?
Kathrin Gaal: It is true that the situation is currently a challenging time for people because of inflation. And we as the City of Vienna do what we do best, because we leave no one behind in Vienna. Keyword housing help, keyword rental help. We have a home security agency and last but not least we have the energy bonus.
